Summary0001989: Containers docked to wings not working
DescriptionOriginally noticed on a standalone but it happens in regular multi as well and I was even able to reproduce it in single. Attaching that test mission. The mission in multi was templar-04.fs2 which is a retail mission.

Basically there are 2 containers docked 2 2 transports that form a wing. Crash was at 5772 in missionparse: Warning(LOCATION, "No dock leaders found in the docking group containing %s. The group will not appear in-mission!\n", pobjp->name). This is apparently due to the wing arrival being based on a previous-event-false. Creating an arrival cue just based on mission time results in a multiple dock leader warning for both ships both in FRED and in game.
Additional Information3.6.11 r5566.
TagsNo tags attached.

Upon further review, the actual behavior described here isn't actually a bug. If the is-previous-event sexp evaluates to false, it is then assigned KNOWN_FALSE before the mission loads. Since the docked containers are also false, this means that the docked group will never appear in mission, which is why the Warning is displayed.

This might have proven problematic before the upgrades and fixes of the last week, but as of now the problem should be benign. The mission should play as expected, and if the arrival cue is changed, that should also work as expected.
